Additional Fees ($1,200) , court cost ($700), attorney fees (($15,000), probation fees for several years ($10,000 total) and jail time (Not sure how much, yet), and a record tht will punish him for the rest of his life. Before its all over something that cost him $27,000 and that he would of made $4,000 will now cost him $150,000 and probably years in jail. So whos the bad guy? The government!!! He didnt murder anyone but got punished more then what a convicted killer would have got. This crack tax does not help the person it basically ruins peoples life, destroys families, makes kids grow up in a house with divorced parents and deep financial stress and gives them no possible chance of geting their life and family on a normal life. So when you see these kids on the street using hard drugs (unlike weed), stealing, robbing, or even worse because their family has been destroyed by this crack tax and the kids would rather be on the streets than watching and hearing their parents at home fighting about their financial situations then thank the U.S. Government or in other words The Bigest Mob Orginization on the planet!
